Galápagos follows a group of misfit survivors stranded on the Galápagos Islands after a global financial crisis, narrated from a million years in the future. Vonnegut uses his trademark dark humor and speculative twists to explore evolution, human folly, and the accidental nature of survival. The story is both satirical and oddly hopeful, questioning what it means to be human when everything familiar is stripped away.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it’s a late Vonnegut novel that’s as biting and imaginative as his best-known work, perfect for fans of speculative fiction and literary satire. Galápagos is a strong pick for readers who appreciate humor with their apocalypse.
